Lorraine Cooke availed of the Blacknight Solutions Getting Irish Business Online offer where she got a free .ie domain name and hosting for a year. She quickly realised that the home made site did not look very professional.

I suggested a number of WordPress themes and she settled on one and we quickly got it up and running. It is leaps and bounds more professional than what she had. As Lorraine receives more recommendations she can easily add these to her site.

I extracted a few testimonials from her LinkedIn recommendations.

As Lorraine has an active Facebook page with more than 25 likes, it was eligible for a nice url (“Vanity URL” as Facebook call it). I guided her through the short process of claiming her short url.

Initially Lorraine told me that she would like that posts to both her web site be duplicated on her Facebook page. As the process for this requires significant setup, and she doesn’t plan to post very frequently, I encouraged her to dual post manually. This gives her full control over what is posted to Facebook and how it appears. The goal is to drive people from Facebook to Lorraine’s web site.
